NUTRITION FACTS

  • Some research has found that seeded sourdough bread may promote gut health, which may benefit prediabetics, as good gut health helps control and improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Sourdough bread has also been found by some researchers to be much easier to digest and may have a lower glycaemic index.
  • Chicken is an excellent source of protein. The chicken was roasted without oil to keep the calorie content low to help weight management.
  • Avocado consists of good fatty acids like oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that helps reduce cholesterol levels and increase HDL levels.
  • Vegan mayonnaise contains no cholesterol due to no eggs being used as an emulsifier, lower amounts of saturated fat and fewer calories.
